Hi doctor, what kind of food help the lungs to eliminate tar and all chemical garbage in the lung for an ex smoker? and do you have others tips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smoke free: Remaining smoke free is the way to help your lungs clear themselves from smoking related debris. I am unaware of any food that will speed this process.
